Hello, I am having some problems using the iPhone Remote application to remotely control my iTunes.

My setup: My wireless is set up with a Time Capsule and 2 Airport Express that expand the wireless signal. I am not using WDS and I am transmitting through Channel 3 which has the least interference.

I can connect from the Remote app with my iPhone to my iTunes library, it works like a charm. However, when I am outside at the porch it displays "trying to connect to iTunes library" and it fails (sometimes, about 90% of the time). Now I would suspect that my wireless is not working right and the signal is not reaching the phone. But this is not the case because when I face this issue, the wireless on my iPhone works perfectly, I can check email browse using Safari etc. I do not have a data plan, so it's not like it's connecting to the Internet some other way.

I am starting to believe this is a Remote app bug since my wireless is working flawlessly.

Has anyone else experienced these random drops? Any ideas on how to fix this? I'd like to have people use the iTunes DJ feature, but so far it has been a complete FAIL. :confused:

Thanks!
